    What happened to REVMASTER ?

    I’ve acquired a new Force one hub assembly, it didn’t come with any drawings on what mods to the case and crank needed to fit. I know the case needs some relieving, but what interference etc. I know the crank is tapered also and different centre bolt also But can a standard crank be used? Fit a...

    O.k. New Autolinea cases are out of customs now. they weigh in at just a smidge over 19kg. So not much or any lighter then last batch. cast mark says May 22, so super fresh… Hoover oil mods, and no. 3 filled. Shuffle pins. will take a 86mm crank with no other machining required. so you could...

    VW conversion economics

    Agreed on price…Oz dollar is about .60c US, so we get a shock here also. No change from $2000 here for a case normally, but currently zero availability till my stock arrives. Freight is a killer also.

    Is it time to give up on VW engines?

    Have we looked again at the Autolinea VW super case! A 100% replica, but stronger. And a little heavier too…. But you can build whatever you want with it. your choice of crank and extra prop support from sonex or great plains etc. it won’t flex or shuffle, add a turbo for your 100 + hp

    Aerovee into SII engine mount

    Thanks in advance. I have a SII and an aerovee 2180 to into it. I’ve read on here somewhere about a engine mount to do this job. Or at least a drawing of one with the aero injector manifold around the back down past the starter, I figure about 3” clearance is required to make it fit. Between...
